And even more of a killer at tackle. He doesn't have ideal height for tackle (only 6'4), but his wingspan is awesome, he uses leverage really well, he has fantastic drive in his legs and he is really athletic for a lineman. Keeps his balance really well. He is just a great athlete playing OL.
I'm sure he is still adding weight to his frame, and will be in a backup role next year because of it, but we have not had anyone with elite potential at OT since the death penalty. Beachum was great after he grew into his frame, but he wasn't as athletic at this guy. We need to see it on the field, obviously, but the potential is there, and the fundamentals are really good. This isn't a large project like Ike.
